Why is it easier and more comfortable to sit in a position that actively damages my joints than it is to just sit with okay posture. Why does my body crave its own destruction
Can you imagine being stuck in space completely alone with only the corpses of your friends for company, and the first living thing you meet after 46 years of that misery is a fucking weird alien creature who just rolls up with crazy advanced tech and goes "hi let's work together" and makes it possible for you to save your world through the power of friendship and molecular biology. AND THEN you find out that in this creature's language, its name means "mercy". Happened to my good friend Rocky btw
project hail mary is a touching and poignant film that leaves you asking questions about humanity like, "wow what if all mainstream media was genuinely good" and "what if book adaptions actually gave a shit about the book in question" and "what if studios hired actors that could actually act, and then let them get a lil wacky with it"
"Grace Ryland is Rocky's dog" is such a funny fucking dynamic when you think about it
Eridians are further behind than humans technologically right? They dont have computers, relativity, quantum mechanics, etc. In fact, Eridians probably dont even know about the Big Bang because their atmosphere would filter out most of the cosmic microwave background radiation we use to detect it. On a human timeline, theyre anywhere between like early-mid 20th century. Rocky's basically a cosmonaut.
So the human civilization is pretty advanced from Rocky's perspective. Rationally he understands this. On a conceptual level he knows this to be true.
But at the same time... imagine youre one of the first ever cosmonauts to make it into space. Then you meet a 10 year old alien dog who cant do 2+2 without pulling out its calculator. It forgets everything constantly and has to keep notes everywhere, like it basically lives in Memento (2000). Also if it doesnt nap constantly it gets even stupider. And you somehow has to reconcile this with the fact that this dog has a better understanding of physics than your entire civilization does. Like the dog knows how the universe started.
This isnt better from Grace's perspective btw. Eridians never developed computers, so all their ship systems are steered using basically the manual labor of 24 Eridians. Also theres no radiation shielding on their ship. Actually im pretty sure half the reason why Rocky is always busy fixing shit is because the radiation keeps frying all the onboard electronics, so hes always building and fixing and replacing components
Like imagine being a modern day sailor navigating the Pacific with GPS and strong hulls to protect against the raging ocean. And from portside you see like an honest to god viking ship. Except its made of some high tech carbon fiber material. But like, its still very definitely a viking ship. You can clearly see there's 24 oars along the hull where sailors are supposed to use to manually row their ship. Also the ship is leaking and theres like one little dude on board whos skittering around patching the holes constantly. Also this little dude is blind and doesnt know about water. Thats how insane Eridians look being an interstellar species without computers or radiation shielding.
Both of them thinks the other one is the completely ridiculous and absurd one and theyre both totally amazed at how far the other has come in spite of it
Before he died, Fives never could have imagined working together with Asajj Ventress. Now, given another chance by unlikely allies, revived with a strange power lighting up his veins, he has to work his way through the ranks of his brothers in the Coruscant Guard, laying a trap to kill the chancellor before the Sith lord can activate Order 66. But having only ever fought on the front lines, the culture of the Guard proves to be a bigger obstacle than he imagined, especially when Fives realizes the most important skill he has to train is the ability to lie to his brothers despite their trust. When given allies and tactics he never imagined, how much of himself is he willing to cast aside for the cause? Loyal to source material and characterizations. Starts after the Fives arc of S6 and diverges from canon.
THATS RIGHT FOLKS it's aNOTHER CHAPTER~~! We are pleased to bring you more Fives feels, more Ezan and Ventress feels, and very importantly, RADAR FEeeeels! Sorry not sorry for loving our nerdy captain OC.
As always, thank you to the people who take the time to comment!! Comments are our lifeblood. Our waters of life, if you will. The ichor that reanimates us from the slow undeath of writers block and procrastination~~~

“He is careless with your gifts, Raisvendys.”
Fives knew that voice… haunting storm-winds in a canyon. He felt arms around him, soft hair against his cheek. Then his heart beat once—pain. Another heartbeat, and the pain doubled, tripled on the third, until he couldn’t keep it behind his teeth anymore.
“Nevertheless, he is my daughter.” The second voice came from behind Fives’ head and chest, and he wasn’t sure if the thrum of it soothed or worsened the aching. “And Ezan is yours. You must give them another chance.”
The first voice came closer to Fives’ ear. “Ezan spends her own life-force healing him. His recklessness endangers her as the last of our kind. I will not forgive such a waste.”
“Would it not be a greater waste for him to risk nothing? To take the easy path? He gives his all to accomplish our mission. He is resolved.”
A silence. Fives struggled and failed to open his eyes, his renewed heartbeat pulsing through swollen veins against his eardrums.
I'm so glad that that truncated fucking ran-into-a-wall-at-speed tadpole-ass looking squirrel only lives in high altitude forests in Borneo bc this means I am extremely unlikely to encounter one in my day to day life. thank god
i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users
would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like they’re gone. it’s the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.
hey. you have to love your trans brothers of color okay. and your trans sisters of color. and your nonbinary siblings of color. you have to okay. its simply non-optional
The quilt!!! The Good Luck quilt !!!! just there on instagram with 60 likes on it!!!!!!!!! oh man i was looking SO HARD. i've started to do a guide to all the good luck symbols that were on it but my quest is basically over!! The edges of it aren't clear, but this is basically everything we DON'T see in the film! oh man, I feel lightheaded.
My initial, pre-this-post thoughts
Now - their meanings as far as i can tell, a collage from different pictures and a small restoration of some missing pieces
